About the MA Lighting MA NPU Network Processing Unit (NPU)

The MA Lighting MA NPU Network Processing Unit is a powerful processing device designed to expand and distribute control data within MA Lighting grandMA systems. It acts as a dedicated network node that handles parameter processing independently from the lighting console, ensuring stable performance even in large and complex lighting setups. This makes it especially valuable for shows that demand high channel counts and reliable real-time control.

Built for professional touring, broadcast, and fixed installations, the MA NPU seamlessly integrates into MA-Net environments. It allows users to scale their control systems by adding processing power without needing additional full consoles. By offloading processing tasks, the NPU helps maintain fast response times and consistent operation across multiple networked devices.

The robust hardware design and redundant networking capabilities make the MA NPU suitable for mission-critical lighting applications. Its flexibility supports a wide range of workflows, from live events and theaters to television studios and architectural lighting systems. As part of the MA Lighting ecosystem, it delivers dependable performance and long-term compatibility with evolving control requirements.
